Choosing a Conversation Style for Messaging Workflows

Explore different conversation styles for messaging workflows, from simple to intricate, and find the right balance for your business.

What conversation styles can I implement in my messaging workflow?

You can choose from simple, intricate, or a balanced conversation style for your messaging workflow. A simple style involves minimal automation, offering a live chat-like experience.

An intricate style uses conversational bots to handle complex scenarios, providing preconfigured options and pulling data from external sources. Most businesses find a middle ground, using bots to automate parts of the workflow while keeping it manageable. Remember, the key is not to over-engineer your workflows.
